Operating Tips
•
Use the power tool for cutting in either direction in
a slow, sweeping action.
•
When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping
action so that the stems are fed directly into the
cutting blade.
•
Use a different tool to trim stems that are too large
for the trimmer.
•
If desired, you can use a string to help cut your
hedge level. Decide how high you want the hedge.
Stretch a piece of string along the hedge at the
desired height as a guideline. Trim the hedge just
above the string guideline.
